Global warming is the rising of the Earth's surface temperature due to greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. The effects of global warming are being seen everywhere as global temperatures have risen over 0.8 degrees Celsius, causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. While solutions to reduce global warming exist and can lead to clean energy, the planet is increasingly being impacted as the climate changes at a faster rate due to human-caused emissions of pollutants from fossil fuels.
